Abstract
Colonization of the small intestine and the excretion of a toxin are important steps in the pathogenesis of edema disease in pigs. Although much is known about the chemical and biological characteristics of SLT-IIv toxin, its mode of action and its genetic determinant, F107 fimbriae were only recently described as colonization factors. Here we summarize our current knowledge about the virulence factors F107 fimbriae and SLT-IIv toxin.Entities:
